Two preachers were in jail singing, still preaching and serving God. Suddenly they were freed! Their jailer, about to commit suicide, cried out: “What must I do to be saved?” A true story (Acts 16:16-40). There are all sorts of answers to his question today. Not “What can I do to be more popular,” or
